Here's the statement just released by Manwin, the parent company of Brazzers, in response to the charges flinged at them by Michael Weinstein and the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, concerning the latest HIV porn scare, where a male performer has been alleged to have tested positive for HIV. AHF had claimed that the alleged infected performer had exposed up to 13 other performers to the virus while shooting for Brazzers, and called for federal, state, and local sanctions against the company as a "sanitary nusiance". (Both XBiz and AVN have the statement posted at their blogs.)

LUXEMBOURG—Manwin and some of its online properties
have recently been falsely accused by AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF)
as well as by other organizations in relation to possible HIV exposure
of an adult industry performer.

The AHF statement is an unacceptable
attempt to undermine the reputation of our producers through the
publication of false information.

Our attorneys have sent the AHF a formal request demanding an immediate retraction.

Manwin
and its affiliated producers wish to reiterate that we take industry
performers’ health and safety very seriously and as such, we have at all
times operated our business in strict compliance with all applicable
state and federal laws. Consequently, all of our adult online properties
and their producers have accurately and meticulously followed best and
standard industry practices when it comes to testing our performers.

Manwin
and its producers have never attempted to hide any information or
mislead anyone concerning the nature of the incident. We have acted as
diligently as possible in a transparent manner in order to avoid and to
mitigate any potential damages of any nature for our performers
specifically and for the industry as a whole in accordance with the
advice of our counsel.

More specifically, at no time did “Patient
A” perform or provide any services for any of our producers after any
test results were disclosed reflecting even the possibility of HIV
exposure or infection. This fact is well documented and proves that the
industry testing process precisely works as it should.

In
addition, “Performer A” has never worked for Brazzers.com. The performer
in question has performed for a separate website known as Mofos.com.

To
this extent, statements to the contrary are inaccurate and possibly
defamatory. We are currently waiting for a final and clear result on
whether or not “Patient A” has tested positive for HIV. This process and
its corresponding privacy implications means that we cannot comment
further until the full results have been legally transmitted and
disclosed.

Until then, we cannot and will not tolerate any
further malicious, unverified, inaccurate or misleading statements
published by anyone. In addition, we will not further comment on the
sanitary nuisance health complaint with the Florida Department of Health
and a similar letter of complaint with federal OSHA officials until we
have had the opportunity to review the content of these documents and
their implications.
